/OUTPUT

 /OUTPUT[=output-file] (default)
 /NOOUTPUT

 Determines the output file, if any, for the main (or first) buffer.
 If you specify multiple input files on the EDIT/TPU command line,
 this qualifier applies to each buffer.  Does not affect other buffers
 you create during the editing session.

 By default, the output file has the same specifications as the input
 file with a version number one higher than the highest version of the
 input file, or version 1 if you are creating a new file.

 Use /OUTPUT= and specify a file if you want the output file written
 in a different directory or to have a different name or file type.
 For example, the following command edits a file named ROUGH.LIS in
 your current directory and, on exiting, writes the output file to
 FINAL.TXT in your top-level, login directory:

    $ EDIT/TPU rough.lis /OUTPUT=sys$login:final.txt

 You cannot use wildcards to specify the output file---you specify one
 output file at a time.  There is no default file type.  If you omit
 the file type or other parts of the output file specification, such
 as the device (disk) or directory, EVE uses the corresponding parts
 of the input file specification, if there is one.

 In EVE, using /OUTPUT= and specifying an output file modifies the
 buffer, so that even if you make no changes to the text, exiting
 writes the buffer to the specified output file.

 In EVE, using /NOOUTPUT sets the MAIN (or first) buffer to read-only
 (sometimes called write-locked), so that exiting does not write out
 that buffer to a file.  This is useful to view a file without making
 any changes.  If you change your mind and want to write out the
 buffer before exiting, use the WRITE FILE, SAVE FILE, or SAVE FILE AS
 command.  Also, you can change the read/write attribute of the buffer
 during your editing session by using the SET BUFFER command.

 Be careful using the /OUTPUT qualifier when you specify multiple
 input files because the qualifier applies to all input files on the
 EDIT/TPU command line.  If you specify an output file name and type,
 each buffer created from an input file would have the same output
 file name and type.

 You can use the /OUTPUT qualifier with multiple input files to write
 the output files to a different disk or directory.  For example, the
 following command invokes EVE such that each output file has the same
 name as the original input file but is written to the [.NEW]
 directory:

    $ EDIT/TPU /OUT=[.NEW] a.txt,b.txt,c.rno,d.tmp
